Home/Services/Cleanings & Prevention
Preventive dentistry

Protect today. Plan ahead.

Exams, professional cleanings, digital records, and practical guidance designed to keep small concerns from becoming bigger ones.

Thoughtful planning. Clear explanations. Care centered on your needs.
A considered approach

Prevention is personal—not one-size-fits-all.

Your preventive plan should reflect your oral health, medical history, risk factors, and what is realistic for daily life. We pair careful evaluation with clear, useful recommendations.

Recall timing and diagnostic imaging are individualized after Dr. Maddox reviews your health and clinical findings.

Your visit may include

  • Comprehensive and periodic examinations
  • Professional dental cleanings
  • Gum-health screening
  • Digital records when clinically appropriate
  • Personalized home-care recommendations
The process

What to expect.

Recommendations follow a clinical evaluation. We explain what we see, walk through your options, and make room for your questions.

Understand

We review your health history, concerns, and changes since your last visit.

Evaluate

Your teeth, gums, bite, and existing dental work are assessed carefully.

Maintain

You leave with a practical plan for home care, follow-up, and any recommended treatment.

01

Whole-mouth perspective

Preventive visits look beyond a single tooth to the patterns that influence long-term oral health.

02

Comfortable hygiene

We communicate throughout your visit and adjust pacing when an area is sensitive.

03

Clear next steps

If something needs attention, we explain the finding and available options without pressure.

Questions, answered

Good decisions start with clarity.

These are useful starting points. Your visit gives us the information needed for advice specific to you.

How often should I have an exam and cleaning?

The right interval depends on your gum health, cavity risk, medical history, and current needs. We will recommend a schedule after evaluating you.

Will I need X-rays at every visit?

Not necessarily. Imaging is recommended based on your history, symptoms, risk, and the diagnostic information needed.

What if my teeth are sensitive during a cleaning?

Tell us before and during your visit. We can adjust pacing and discuss ways to make care more comfortable.
